README

pg_plugins, set of plugin templates for PostgreSQL

This repository contains a collection of plugins and extensions for PostgreSQL that can be used as templates for more extensive work, like:

  • Background workers
  • Logical decoding plugins
  • Custom logging formats
  • Extensions
  • Table access methods
  • Micro-benchmarking functions.
  • WAL reader.
  • etc.

Installation

Simply run the following command with pg_config in PATH:

make install

All the sub-commands of PGXS are available as well. Note that some modules may fail to compile because of missing dependencies or a version of PostgreSQL code incompatible with the module. You may want to compile individually modules if that is the case. Each module is maintained to be compatible with the latest version of PostgreSQL.
